FTC Fax Number — File Consumer Protection Complaints

The Federal Trade Commission keeps a general fax line at 202-326-2012 for consumer complaints, FOIA requests, and regulatory matters such as Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust filings. For everyday consumer reports about scams, robocalls, or identity theft, the agency steers people toward ReportFraud.ftc.gov, where the intake is structured and faster. Fax remains useful when you have a documented complaint or a formal request that benefits from a paper trail and a confirmed delivery time.

  • Robocall/telemarketing complaints
  • Identity theft reports

Tip: If you are reporting a business practice or scam by fax to 202-326-2012, write out the company name, what happened, the date, and the dollar amount involved so the complaint can be acted on without a follow-up. For most consumer fraud the FTC would rather you file at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, so save the fax route for FOIA requests, antitrust filings, or situations where you specifically need a dated record. Keep your transmission confirmation as that record.
